Re: In Process?

 

Clint,

Is there any way to see if progress is being made on my transfer from YahooGroups?

Latest word is that the transfer agent (Mark) is "woefully behind". No specifics on what that means, but he begs patience. .

Also a new twist: the most recent 100,000 messages transfer free - which should be accommodate most groups - but to get more messages an upgrade to Premium for at least one year is required ($110).

A statement to this effect has apparently been on the Transfer instruction page for over a week. But it isn't boxed (it is above the green and red boxes) .

I read that thread, and it didn¡¯t look like that idea never got off the ground. I think a way to tell how many of a group¡¯s members are using their site would be very useful, more useful in a way than what an owner/moderator has now.

Don,

Is there a way for an owner/moderator to tell how many people have logged into a group site they are members of?


No.

But I wish there were: .

Marvin,

It is unfortunate that the person responded to you this way, but if those messages were sent outside of Groups.io (from his email to yours) then there's nothing Groups.io would do about it, regardless of that person being a group owner. The TOS is only violated if the offending material goes through Groups.io.
?

So have blocked these couple of people.

?
That's the best answer. Let their angry or offensive words be their own burden, not yours.

groups.io owners standards and ethics

Marvin Hunkin
 

Hi. Well will explain. Got banned from a few groups, and the group owner did that, and then the co-owner or admin of another group banned me, and then he said not to contact him any more. So did not do that. That was two to three weeks ago. Then last night, he starts sending me vile rude, messages, and using the f word, the s word, and denigrating me. This is almost like stalking, bullying or abuse. Have contacted groups.io support. But don¡¯t much faith, did bring this up a while and did report this owner of a few groups. But nothing came of it, the owner of groups.io, said to deal with it my self. So have blocked these couple of people.

Thanks.

No. Each subscriber has to explicitly share their profile.

Re: Member receiving daily summaries when "NO EMAIL" selected

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi Shal,

?

Thanks for the suggestion. He was a "unique" member of our old Yahoo group and may very well have had a hidden membership under another name. I have sent a message questioning this.

We do have over 50 members receiving Summaries, so I checked for similar addresses and his e-mail address does not have a similar one nor does it have any indications of a message being sent to him.

He has sent the suggested email to +nomail and that toggled my setting from summary to NO MAIL.

Again, thanks,

Ken

Ken,

?

And I've double checked the individual's Email Delivery setting has "NO EMAIL" checked.

?

Is it possible the individual has two subscriptions?

You could go to the group's Members list and click on the Delivery column heading to sort by Delivery. You may need to click twice to flip the sort to reverse order, that will bring the "Summary" subscriptions to the top. If there are relatively few Summary subscriptions you might be able to spot an alternate subscription by the same individual, if his/her two email addresses are similar.

?

I will try experimenting and changing his Email Delivery setting to Daily Summary for a day and then back to NO EMAIL to see if toggling the setting fixes it.

?

If it does, that fact should be reported to [email protected] - that would be a bug.

If that doesn't work and no one else is seeing this, I'll be at a loss.

?

I'd try to get the individual to forward me a copy of such a Summary email, with the full header included (if that's practical in his/her email interface); or examine the header him/herself. Near the top of the header is an X-Original-To: field that shows the address to which it was sent. The ordinary To: field might give the answer, but might instead have been modified if he/she has one email address forwarding messages to another.

Setting default profile privacy options

 

Is there a way to set the default for members?Profile Privacy?to "Other members in your group" so they show up in the directory? ?This would still allow them to change it but start out with them displayed in the directory.

Peace,

Unless your group has 646,000 messages in its fourteen-year archive, in which case you can watch them arrive at groups.io in small batches for just over a day.

Clint,

Only on a relatively coarse scale, see GMF #6662, (and GMF #8352 if needed).

Will I see the number of member increase incrementally as the importing occurs?

No.? The majority of the time is waiting for your group to come up in the queue, then gathering a copy the group's content from Yahoo's servers.? When that's done loading the copy into your Groups.io group takes next to no time.
?
Or should I just be patient and wait a few days?

Yes, assuming you've taken steps 0, 1 and 2 in order.? It may be more than a few days though.

If everyone used the web interface, it would be easier. Identifying attachments (and embedded graphics) that originated from a "previous message" when receiving an incoming email is, unfortunately, not straightforward.?At a minimum, it would require searching through any attachments from messages with the same subject line and comparing their checksums or something like that. And if the group has a setting to rescale oversized images that could also come into play.

<rant mode ON> It's particularly annoying with those little sig-line portrait photos some folks can't live without, not to mention the 148-byte PNG horizontal rules that Windows 10 Mail somehow decided was a better option than a simple HR tag. <rant mode OFF>

What I've found is that some subscribers will reply to a message without first stripping the included image...it thus lands in the folder two (or more) times. In each case, the image is associated with the subscriber who sent the corresponding message. I hope that made sense. Please check to see if that's what's happening in your group.
Whether this behavior is actually a bug is subject to debate. I'm not very fond of it either, but don't have a good proposal for how to resolve it.

This happens all the time with list members who don't take much trouble with their responses. Perhaps a group option "Strip previous attachments when replying with quote" would be useful.

Our group has quite stringent rules that are applied and followed.? By ALL of us.? But, we have also taken a Pollyanna approach, or more accurately the Thumper rule (from Bambi), ¡°If you don¡¯t have anything nice to say, don¡¯t say anything at all.?

Re: groups.io owners standards and ethics

 

A well run planned and operated group will have a set of terms and conditions over and above those of groups.io and an appeal path for issues.
Bear? in mind that while there may be a path to appeal through, the decision resulting from an appeal is often final and cannot be appealed.
In other words, as so many have said in different ways, group owners generally OWN their groups and their rules may? be absent, invisible or arbitrary but they own the group.
Leaving is the best solution.

Photo by field is wrong #photos

 

Hi,
I am testing groups.io for our group.
I?noticed that when I posted some photos via email to test navigation and size, the name of the user in the "by" field is not mine, although I was the one who sent them, looks like it took the name of the first member to open them.
Is this is a bug?
Thanks,
